Fact: operatingsystem
Purpose: Return the name of the operating system.
Resolution:
Uses the name key of the os structured fact, which itself operates on the following conditions: If the kernel is a Linux kernel, check for the existence of a selection of files in `/etc/` to find the specific flavour. On SunOS based kernels, attempt to determine the flavour, otherwise return Solaris. On systems other than Linux, use the kernel fact's value.
Caveats:
